LOL. Yeah. I'm sure Ronaldo is regretting being the highest paid athlete on the planet in a sport that won't ruin his life after 50 and with a net worth 20 times more than any MMA fighter ever. I'm sure he wishes he was more "manly"
F1 drivers and fighters both deserve more respect than anyone because those are dangerous sports that get the best qualities out of people. Fuck sports where no one ever dies
Cheerleading is more dangerous than both sports you have a hard on for. I guess they are way more manly than fighters and F1 drivers...
I didn't say that. He just has a crush on fighters, his lover is kickboxer Badr Hari. He looked like a fan girl next to Conor
No it's not, it's a circus.
Not sure I agree. I think fighters are the most courageous sportsmen on the planet without a doubt, but I don't agree they're the best athletes. The general poor cardio in MMA is quite bizarre. You have guys whose entire career and livelihood is being in peak physical shape for battle, and they visibly gas out after a few minutes work like a fat kid in gym class. It's weird. The very idea of seeing Roger Federer or Lionel Messi or Manny Pacquiao blowing out their ass after 7 minutes of action is fucking ludicrous.
Did I really rustle your jimmies this bad? Any fighter wouldn't make it to semi-pro level of Tennis or Soccer.Roger Federer and Messi wouldn't last a round of boxing. It takes a completely different conditioning.
Pacman is a legend and a warrior. I don't know why we make so much distinction between boxing and MMA anyway, it's all one big fighting family. Pacman is ten times the man Messi will ever know how to be.

Fighters aren't the real A level athletes at all, Aldo is a failed soccer player so he walked into MMA and became a GOAT candidate. Stipe is a failed baseball player so he became UFC champion.This makes no sense. Fighting and grappling makes you extremely fatigued. Do you think Messi or Federer would be any less tired? Pacquiao is my favorite boxer of all time but all he has to do is box. He doesn't have to shoot/defend takedowns, grapple on the floor, get kicked in the legs, etc. You cannot compare any other sport to MMA. Just because they have good cardio in their sport does not mean it would transfer to MMA.
I agree with a lot of what the OP says. Fighters are the real A level athletes. We might not be as big as NFL guys but that is because we do too much cardio every day. Start training JJ Watt MMA every day and let's see if he can maintain all that muscle mass while also building cardio and developing skills. Because if you train martial arts six or seven days a week it is going to be very hard to also maintain that muscle mass and NFL combine numbers that everybody loves to talk about
Soccer, Basketball, football & baseball all have better athletes than combat sports. Nobody wants to take punches for a living when they can make millions in a less dangerous sport.
Who cares? Better to make millions and become famous globally instead of making scraps and maybe becoming famous in a niche sport.And most tennis and soccer players would be too scared to even train seriously in MMA or boxing.
Haha no they don't, they're both knocking on 40s door and they'll still have to come out of retirement, Pacqiuao already has. You don't have to be the absolute best in the sport to make tens of millions like you do in boxing.But fighters get paid more. Floyd and Pacquiao shit on all of those bums.
